Minnesota Grid Upgrade Begins

Minnesota Power is launching a $900 million grid upgrade, building a state-of-the-art converter station to replace aging infrastructure from nearly 50 years ago. This critical project will boost capacity, ensure reliable power delivery, and seamlessly integrate wind energy from North Dakota into northeastern Minnesota homes and businesses. Siemens is supplying advanced tech, Mortenson is handling construction, and the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved it in 2024 after years of planning. Beyond reliability, the project will create local jobs and strengthen the regional economy — a major step toward a more resilient, sustainable energy future.
